Satan's Hollow is spelled "Satan's Hollow" on the marquee:

But shouldn't it be "Satan's Hallow" with an "a" in Hallow?

HALLOW - WIKIPEDIA
To hallow is "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate". The adjective form hallowed, as used in The Lord's Prayer, means holy, consecrated, sacred, or revered.

HOLLOW - WIKIPEDIA
To render something hollow by removing its internal matter.

Just an interesting curiosity. Any English majors out there care to comment?
 
From Wikipedia:

- A depression in a surface or the ground.

---- A low, wooded area, such as a copse

---- A term meaning a small vee-shaped riverine type of valley with moderately sloped sides pitched more gently than and both broader and larger than a ravine. The term is used primarily within and in the states bordering Appalachia (The Appalachian Mountains, from New England to Mississippi) where some local glaciation has broadened ravines into a wider form. Frequently pronounced "Holler" in the central and southern Appalachia states.

Stick to farming patato boy;)
 
I'm pretty sure Zzyzzyxx is spelled incorrectly too. I'm pretty sure it should actually have one more y and two z's like this Zzzzyzzyyxx. This could just be a regional spelling though.

I wonder where they got the idea for that name...
